Ed Nix took some very nice images of the last crew with it, the blocks being put under the wheels etc.

But it was this shot of the plane that took my eye. On one hand it could be mistaken for an example of the shutter firing accidentally, what with its sloping horizon and the huge amount of the picture being taken up by sky.

However, Ed’s off-kilter framing was very much his intent, the runway lines lead us to the menacing presence of the backlit and stationary military plane, as the miles of dramatic sky soar into the distance.

It has impact and drama and it works

This is just amazing: five lads, 1,000 man hours and a tree house 80ft up with doors, windows, a spiral staircase, furnished rooms and a viewing platform.

Which big kid wouldn’t be fascinated by this subject in Lower Heyford and be impressed by Simon Williams’ splendid pictures of the thing?

My only concern is that my seven year old might spot the picture and use it as an example to question why our rather smaller scale project (a 25cm birdhouse) is still without a roof and languishing in the shed having been started about six months ago!
